Using your treadmill to control your weight or improve your fitness is only part of the story! Here is a link for free nutirtion assessment to help you get the most out of your workout:-
Medical research shows that a healthy lifestyle is 70%
dependent upon diet and 30% dependent upon physical activity. Whether you choose
to believe the numbers or not, it would seem logical to get one's diet right
first in order to get the most benefit from any exercise routine. At
Northwick, we believe that diet and nutrition should be the cornerstone of
everyone's health and fitness programme.
If you've ever been to the gym, the chances are that
you will already be familiar with the basics of eating a sensible diet in order
for your body to provide sufficient energy to see you through a workout. And,
even if you're a stranger to the gym, you'll probably relate to the feeling of
tiredness and lethargy that can suddenly creep up on you if you go too long
between meals!
Your body needs an ongoing, good source of energy which
it derives from the food you consume. If you go a long time between meals or eat
the wrong types of food, then your body is unable to generate sufficient
energy and reserves run low. This is what makes you feel tired
and lethargic. Under these conditions, in order to keep you going,
your body draws on your fat reserves for energy. Whilst this sounds a great way
to lose weight, the problem comes when this pattern is repeated. Your
body will become used to using your fat reserves and it starts to keep a little
more fat in the cupboard, so to speak, just in case. Consequently, good practice
is to eat a little (of the right foods) and eat frequently rather than going for
hours between large meals. This keeps your energy levels more stable during the
day and allows your body to convert the energy more efficiently whilst
minimising the need for excessive fat reserves.
If you'd like to get your diet sorted out, then in my
opinion the best place to start is by looking at the nutritional value of what
you currently eat. That way, you'll be able to see the foods that provides you
with the most nutrition and identify those that don't. With this
information, you can then make adjustments to your diet as necessary. This does
not mean crash dieting or living on vegetables alone, it's simply a way of
optimising what you eat to suit your lifestyle.
With this in mind, I've developed my own unique
questionnaire (http://www.northwick.eu/Pages/Nutrition.aspx) that you can fill in and send to me. The service is completely free and without obligation and the process will
take you no more than 5 minutes (plus you can take my word that there are no
hidden boxes requiring your credit card details!). When you submit your
questionnaire, the details you enter will be electronically sent to me. You and
I will then begin communicating via email and use this information to put
together your own, unique Nutrition Programme.
So what's the catch you're thinking......well, there is
none. This is a complimentary service provided by Northwick Academy. Our
philosophy is to help you get the most benefit from your dealings with us.
Simple as!
So, start here, today. Complete the
questionnaire and submit!
